The goal of the College Counseling program at Tilton School is to help students explore their interests and talents in order to find a range of colleges and universities that will match their ambitions and goals. In addition, the College Office serves as a support for parents, educating them on different colleges, including admissions procedures and trends. The college counselors have developed a program that will enable students to take the lead in their college search and to discover college environments in which they can thrive. We look forward to partnering with you on this journey!

The Plan

The counseling program, staffed by three full-time counselors, uses a structured grade level approach to work with all students, grades 9-12 and postgraduates. Beginning with group interest inventories, and Big Thinking during spring of freshman year, the counselors, utilizing student feedback, develop a three-year individualized SCOPE plan. Students move to one-to-one work by winter of their junior year. Counselors work closely with junior and senior faculty advisors to help students plan, monitor and manage their learning, as well as formulate and evaluate their educational and personal goals.
